Step 2: Apply Scor-Tape to one side of each of the chipboard pieces. Center each chipboard square onto the back side of the 4 ½” patterned paper. Miter the corners and secure the sides down with additional Scor-Tape.

Step 3: Apply Scor-Tape to one side of your cardstock up to the first score line and center it onto one chipboard square. Repeat this process for the other chipboard cover.

Step 4: Adhere sticky note pad to the inside and decorate as desired.

Step 5: Align cardstock along the left fence and score the 10 ¼” side @ 1/2” and 9”.

Step 6: Slide the cardstock over so the left side is at the 1/8” mark. Score @ 4 ¼” and 5 ½”.

Step 7: Turn the cardstock 90 degrees and score @ 3”.

Step 8: Using scissors, cut the vertical score lines up to the horizontal score line. Remove the small rectangular section at the bottom left. Then trim the 2 largest flaps to 1 ¼” wide. This will create the box bottom. You will now have four flaps.

Step 1: Align paper along left fence and score the 8 ½” side @ 2”, 4”, 6”, and 8”

Step 2: Turn the paper 90 degrees and score the 5 ½” side @ 2”

Step 3: Using scissors, cut the vertical score lines up to the horizontal score line. Remove the small rectangular section at the end. This will create the box bottom. You will now have four 2” flaps

Step 4: Stamp cardstock (or add patterned paper) if desired

Step 5: Fold and crease all scored lines. Apply Scor-Tape to the long tab on the right side; peel off paper backing

Step 6: Turn the paper over. Fold both sides in, adhering together to form the box

Step 7: Fold bottom flaps in one at a time, applying Scor-Tape to adhere the flaps shut.

Step 8: Push the top of two opposite sides in and squeeze the remaining two sides together like a milk carton.

Step 9: Hold firmly and punch two 1/8” holes near the top. Thread ribbon through holes and tie shut.

Step 10: Decorate as desired.

Variations:

Punch or diecut a window in the box before assembling; line the hole with a piece of acetate secured with Scor-Tape.
Instead of a ribbon closure, try using a metal clip to hold it shut.
Make the box from clear acetate for a see-through favor box.
Vary the height of the box by changing the length of the 5 ½” side of the paper. A full sheet of cardstock will make a tall, skinny box.
Try changing the measurements to create a rectangular box. Start with 11” wide paper and score @ 2”, 5”, 7”, and 10”.

I'm back with another fun Scor-Pal project. I've got a box for you. It's another box that you can make it out of one sheet of card stock and some patterned paper. After a few scores, cuts and embellishments, the mini pizza box is ready to fill and give away.

First, place the 6" by 11" piece of card stock with the 6" side of the paper against the top fence of the Scor-Pal. Score at 1" and 5".

Turn your card stock so that the 11" side of the paper is against the top fence of the Scor-Pal. Score at 1", 5", 6" and 10".

Cut from the outside edges in to the 1" line on all 1", 5", 6" and 10" score lines to create 6 separate 1"x 1" tabs.

Crease all of the score lines.

Flip the card stock over and apply Scor-Tape to the back side of each tab, as shown.

Remove the adhesive backing from the first two tabs and adhere the first section to create the mini pizza box lid. Remove the adhesive backing from the other four tabs and adhere to the inside of the second section to create the base of the mini pizza box.

Decorate your mini pizza box, as desired. Adhere the patterned paper on top of the card stock mat and mount that on top of the mini pizza box. Trim out label shape and use dimensional adhesive to mount on top of patterned paper. Die cut and emboss leaves and embellish around the label shape with sentiment.

Fill with anything you desire. I can't decide if I will fill with pumpkin shaped cookies in a wax paper envelope or if I will fill with hand written notes about the things for which I am thankful throughout the month. This is a nice sized little box and could easily hold many things. You can let your imagination run wild.

Welcome to the 1st Monthly Challenge here at Scor-Pal!
We love showing our projects to you and now it's your chance to show your creations to us!
Each month we will have a different theme and you will have a month to create and enter your projects. As well as the theme you will need to make "More Than One Score" and tell us where you used the Scor-Pal on your project. So a single fold card won't count but an Easel, Gatefold, Stair Step, etc will :) Also we love to see your "Anything But a Card" projects, just as long as you make "More Than One Score"
We are starting off with an easy theme, we just want you to include Flowers on your scored project.
We have a nice set of samples from the Design Team, just click on their names to go to their blogs for more details on their creations.
The challenge ends at 10pm on February 28th and the new one starts on March 1st. Winners and our favorites will be revealed on March 5th.
Now for some inspiration
